How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Moreover, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
